Thread: Maximum number of guns a person can own in NSW

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/582...i-beach-attack

From what I understand:
- Recreational shooters in NSW: Can own a maximum of 4 guns
- Farmers and professional shooters in NSW: Can own a maximum of 10 guns

Interestingly, Western Australia already had limits prior to the Bondi Beach attack (5 guns and 10 guns respectively).

If NZ government imposes the same restriction, I can already envisage which 4 guns most kiwis would want to keep.
1. a 22 LR
2. a shotgun (eg. 12G)
3. a small centrefire rifle. (223 being the most popular, followed by 7.62x39, 6.5 Grendel, etc)
4. a general purpose centrefire rifle. (6.5, 270, 7mm08, 308, 30-06, etc)

Time to save money to buy a small life style block so when the time comes we can all claim ourselves as "farmers".

That's exactly what I own, although I could probably do without the small centrefire.

I shudder to even contemplate a this large of cutting back...

So get a collectors endorsement

Also, start raiding golf ranges and limiting them to 3 clubs, protest outside bridge clubs saying you only need 6 cards to play the game, stop kids from having more than 3 lego pieces each and make politicians only have one house

I'm sure that other members can think of other suitable examples

Edit - also, why on earth is there any good reason for us to follow Australia when they do something stupid?

Shouldn't we just be holding their beer and laughing at them?

Just cos we live next to a fuckwit doesn't make us dumber

You are conflating woke ideology with practical reality. They are miles apart.

And yes, quite happy to hold their beers while they dig as hole for themselves. Fortunately there appears to be a truckload of backlash to this in their media. About bloody time too.

Par for the course with the person who made the comment.

Of all the restrictions they could bring in to me this one makes the least sense of them all. There has to be such little correlation between the number of firearms owned and the mass shooting effectiveness of a given nutjob. He can only use one gun at once...

and changing magazines is more efficient.
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

Such a convenient way to end legal firearms ownership peacemeal.

"you dont need 50 firearms" yeah maybe not. City dwellers also dont need cars. maybe remind them of the fact that more people die in car accidents...

and once a number has been introduced it can be reduced bit by bit...

The dilemma is do we let sleeping dogs lie while it's under the radar here , or lobby against it right now. Lobbying now would legitimise Pollys talking about it and raise the publics conscience of the issue and people will start taking positions. It's certainly in the mind of Gun Control NZ right now. and we don't want to give them a reason to have a voice. This Gov wont try to pull it I dont think but its highly likely if a labour coalition get in next time.
I tend towards sitting on our hands at the moment?

I'm with you and would have said the same about pistol magazines but Nicole had to put foot in mouth...

This Government won't, it will be the next time the Government swings left and is given cause to review firearms legislation. Getting something workable over the line with this Government will be very important. No need to have any mention of maximum numbers etc.

100%. Once you have protections enshrined in legislation it is hard to change. A favourable government should not be wasted.
